If you do business in the EU, you'll incur most of those expenses anyways. It makes sense that companies would offer privacy protection to all their paying customers. In the case of Facebook, it makes sense that they wouldn't want

Maybe you could get them to accept a notarized translation (Beglaubigte Übersetzung) of your ID. It's gonna add about 50€ up-front cost, so I don't know if that's worth the price or the hassle at your project scope.

Then you would just have to write the malware in such a way that it works fine on legitimate hardware but exploits a glitch that exists only on the military hardware. Maybe based on MS drivers VS Linux drivers (or whatever OS the navy uses)
